Default 1991 Sapphire Cosworth

Hello

I'm regrettably putting my Sierra up for sale spares or repair, as I purely have no time or space to give it love it needs. The basics are;
1991
112k
Moondust silver.
9 former keepers
Loads of history
Stage 3 spec, unsure of BHP but the guy I bought it off reckons about 350
RS500 size intercooler
Gaz Coilovers
4 inch outward rolled mongoose
17inch comps in really good condition
500 mile old T1Rs
Runs great with no tapping or knocks

Right that's the good bits out of the way, there are a few bad bits as you'd expect for a 25 year old ford.
I recently had the rear brake lines changed and the garage were unable to bleed the brakes, I understand the technique is an art form but I've also had a go and failed. So the brakes need bleeding/sorting. It has no MOT, it run out in October. The alternator bracket has snapped but it has no effect on it. There is a small belt squeak. The drivers door speak is not fitted. The fuel gauge doesn't work. I've lost the locking wheel nut and there is no headunit. The last MOT advised that there is a small leak from the gearbox and egnine area.
The body work is ok for its age, there is a dent in the drivers side rear door, a pin dent in the bonnet, a small scuff on the corner of the rear bumper. The rear arches are ok with one side having a very small amount of bubbling but no paint is broken. The underside has seen better days where one of the previous owners has jacked it up on the body, this area is a concern and will need to be addressed for the MOT.

Sorry about the essay but I've tried to be as honest as I possibly can to avoid wasting mine and your time, the pictures try to highlight the things that have been mentioned.

There are some spares with the vehicle, most notably a Compbrake 4pot front brake kit with some big discs all round.

Price wise I would like to get as close to £7500 as possible

The car is located 15 mins north of J34 of the M4 in the South Wales valleys.

Any questions I'm available on 07921394884, please text before 3, or Mullen199@live.com

Thanks

Josh.

To bleed the rear brakes turn the ignition on and open the nipple. The abs pump will force the fluid out. Well it should do lol. It looks a nice car in the pics.

I doubt this will hang around for long. Most things are easy fixes hopefully with only the floor being the main thing. glwts
